Proven Assailant for Warriors

This guide covers a strategy for Warrior in order to complete Proving Yourself: Endless Damage (Wave 30). It's not the hardest challenge for Warrior, but still, in my opinion some people would probably want to know How-to.\r\rContentsIntroGear, Enchants, Gems, ReforgeTalents and GlyphsCooldowns and TricksVideo\r\rIntroduction\r\rThe most important part of this guide is the Video. You'll see full 30 Waves done in right way, positioning regarding the marks, and fight mechanics. \r\rEverything rest is just some info which will provide answers to the most of questions.\r\rProving Yourself: Endless Damage (Wave 30) is a solo class oriented challange. In our case it's a Warrior as a damage dealer. \r\rEach wave lasts for 1 minute. Our gold is to kill everything with the minimum amount of time and resourses (bursts).\r\rThe first 10 waves are unique, means 1-10 = 11-20 = 21-30 with the exception that every next wave gets buffed with 1% Hp. This means that wave 50 will have %50 more hp than the 1st wave mobs have.\r\rAs I completed full HC, I decided to prove that I can, and I did. It's a good challenge to raise your skill. It really is. It helps you to learn using burst, dodging bananas, and DPS properlly.\r\rGear, Enchants, Gems, Reforge\r\rActually you don't have to make a racial changes to complete this challenge (if you're not going for records).\r\rAlliance - Pandaren is the best race;\rHorde - Orc is the best race due to it's racials.\r\rSpec is Arms. In Fury you cannot make a proper DPS due to lots of switches.\r\rYou gonna need 300 Str Food and 1000 Str Flask\r\rBIS profs are Engineering and any other prof.\r\rAll your gear in downscaled to 463. Legendary cloak and Meta doesn't work. But you can still socket your weapon with Eye of the Black Prince.\r\rYour expertise and hit do not downscale, so no worries.\r\rWhile you hit your hard caps, the next highest prio stat is Crit, then Mastery and Haste afterall (pretty useless). You need gear with max amount of sockets.\r\rBis trinkets are Relic of Xuen and Lei Shen's Final Orders (because they proc every wave).\r\rOther trinkets could be also usefull, but these are really bis ones.\r\rTalents and Glyphs\r\rDouble Time - gives us extra mobility, because we need to move and switch really quick and alot.\rSecond tier doesn't really matter.\rStaggering Shout - will help us to slow things down without GCD.\rBladestorm - is a must. Will provide us extra aoe and save us tons of time.\rFifth tier doesn't really matter.\rBloodbath - is our number 1 dps ability in 1-4 and 6-9 packs. \r\rYou gonna also need the following glyphs:\r\rGlyph of Colossus Smash\rGlyph of Death From Above\rGlyph of Unending Rage\r\rCooldowns and Tricks\r\rOkay. Let's go.\r\r1. You want to use your Battle Shout at 2-3 seconds before the next wave starts!\r2. You must activate your Bloodbath at 1-2 seconds before the wave starts!\r3. When the wave starts you need to Thunder Clap as many enemies as possible. It's really important because BLEED does enormous amount of damage.\r4. After that you want to Charge use your Mortal Strike followed by Colossus Smash and shot 2-3 Slams. Remember: DO NOT USE SLAMS IF THERE IS NO COLOSSUS SMASH DEBUFF ON TARGET. Just use Overpower instead.\r5. Use your Burst at waves 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 only.\r6. Don't forget to use Heroic Leap if you're out of Charges.\r\rNow let's talk about every wave particulary.\r\r1. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap middle pack, than charge and DPS 1st mob, then charge and repeat and Heroic Leap to the 3rd mob and finish the wave. TIP: if you charge through the amber sphere it won't stun you (watch the vid). Generally: easy wave, even at 21.\r\r2. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap 2 Mobs (Shield and Amber one) than charge to the 2nd Shield and use Mortal Strike and than Heroic Leap to the Healer and finish it ASAP. After that you should finish 2 Mobs (Shield and Amber). Than switch to Bomb and kill it and finish the rest Shield. Generally: easy wave, if you DOT 3 mobs at the start of the wave, also try using amber at your purpose (gives 50% dps increase on the mob).\r\r3. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap everyone in the middle, than use Staggering Shout and start Bladestorm. And finish the wave. Generally: the easiest wave in PG.\r\r4. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap 2 mobs (including Amber and Shield) then start Charging through mobs trying to DOT as many of them as possible (while Bloodbath is active). Try to use Amber at your purpose. Generally: medium wave. Try to DOT as many of them as possible and start target DPS. Use amber or you may lack DPS.\r\r5. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap Boss and Healer. Kill the Healer avoiding Bananas. Than switch to Bananaguy and kill it ASAP. After that you want to wait for Bombgirl and kill it really quick. Than at 40seconds left you want to use your Burst (CritDmgTotem and Recklessness) > Mortal Strike > Colossus Smash > Slam > Slam > Slam > Mortal Strike > Smash\/Execute till it dies. REALLY IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE COLOSSUS SMASH BEFORE 40SECS OR YOU WILL FAIL. Generally: medium wave, needs good DPS and cooldowns.\r\r6. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap the middle pack than switch to any Healer and kill it. IMPORTANT: LEAVE AT LEAST ONE LITTLE GUY ALIVE. Than switch to second Healer and finish the wave. Generally: easy wave, if you do things right.\r\r7. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap 4 (!) mobs including 2Shields 1Amber 1Bananaguy and start Bladestorm (you can't be ambered while Bladestorm so no worries). Kill Bananaguy and one of Ambers ASAP than be ready to swtich to Bomb and finish the wave. Watch the vid, of this wave for more information. Generally: hard wave, needs good positioning and DPS.\r\r8. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap Healer and one of Fatguys, then use Mortal strike on the other Fatguy and kill healer. Then 1Bombgirl will appear, then 2nd Bombgirl. At this moment you want to use Bladestorm them and finish the wave. Generally: hard wave, watch the vid to see how it's done.\r\r9. Take one of Bloodlusts before wave starts. Use Bloodbath and Thunder Clap Amber and Bananaguy. Kill Bananaguy ASAP and start switching targets for more DOTS. Be ready to switch to Bombgirl. Watch the vid for positioning. Generally: hard wave.\r\r10. Start gaining full rage and DPS the Boss. At 45secs be ready to use Bloodlust and at 41sec use your Burst (CritDmgTotem and Recklessness) > Mortal Strike > Colossus Smash > Slam > Slam > Slam > Mortal Strike > Smash\/Execute till it dies. TIP: you can step away from center (getting out of combat) and swap Bloodbath with Avatar and include it to your burst. Generally: hard wave, need some procs, luck and really good DPS.\r\rVideo\r\rhttp:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/meicetv\/c\/4487724\rhttp:\/\/youtu.be\/pZ1xiyfxwHQ (NEW YOUTUBE VERSION)\r\r\r\r\r\r\r\r

Definitely will give this a try on my warrior. The guide has some good pointers such as using your burst on certain waves. Thank you!

Personally, I found that Endless Rage was kind of garbage because you don't build up that much save maybe at the end of each wave or at Sha. Rude Interruption was a huge plus because you get a 6% dmg increase. Also, it helps keeping 1 mob at low hp alive and just switch to defensive so you gain more rage before the next round begins.But basically your main goal is to just spread bleeds and watch orbs. Just keep thunderclap up and you should be good after you remember the spawn points and mobs for each round. And for the boss round, i would expect you to use the berserk buff at 29 secs since that's how long the buff lasts. Even on wave 30 and bursting at 20 secs I still downed him with 6 seconds to spare on 30. (I stopped at wave 31 because I was fine with just the title.) Good guide though, helps new combatants learn the ropes before they hop in there. The best way to do it is to just jump into it and try and get down a rotation for the first 10 waves, cause it's basically those 10 repeated 3 times without much of a noticable difference. Good Luck to those attempting this before 6.0.2.
